Our old idea was too complicated and didn't work nearly as effectively as we'd hoped, so our group decided to really simplify the idea - we noticed that the shots that we'd kept straightforward and simple were the most effective anyway. After discussing our new ideas with each other, our actors, and our teachers, here is the new idea we put together:
- A video diary style opening, involving the rape victim talking to the camera about her experience.
- The first 20-30 seconds will just be a CU of her talking directly to the audience.
- Fade to black, before a 'flash-back'.
- Flashback will include her walking up the path, smoking a cigarette, receiving a text and so on.
- She enters her flat, and as in our test shoot, will be attacked by the rapist from behind.
- Fade to black, and time flashes forward
- The last 20-30 is her talkign directly to the audience once again about her fears etc.
The rest of the movie would be about her coming to terms with overcoming the rape.
The rapist is a 'serial rapist' who has a history of raping many other women, and leaving a trade mark 'calling card', disguised as a funeral directors business card, hinting that his victims will in turn be murdered.
She has the made this video-diary as evidence to provide the police with, but is in hiding, from her rapist.
